The woman who fell off an overhead bridge last Saturday onto the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) is a run-away maid from Myanmar. The Straits Times understands that the 27-year-old had run away from the United Channel Employment Agency at Katong Shopping Centre, and was found face down at the KPE at about 11am last Saturday. Clad in blue top and blue jeans, the woman had been seen perched on a flower bed of the pedestrian overhead bridge minutes before she fell. She landed on the stretch of the KPE near the Pan-Island Expressway exit and was spotted by a taxi driver who called the police, reported Lianhe Wanbao.
